Chapter 872: Ancient Farming by Internet Celebrities (6)

 After listening to Xu Yin’s arrangement, everyone couldn’t help but get excited:

“Great witch, do you really want to teach us?”

“Great wizard, do you know how to make pottery? I heard that this is a craft that only the great wizards of the Bright Tribe can do.”

“Great witch, how do you make the wooden barrel you brought? This water-carrying bucket is much lighter than the stone pot. Can you teach us?”

　　When mentioning wooden barrels, Xu Yin thought of mineral salt: "Oh, you have to lend me two people to dig more mineral salt and boil it."

"Salt?"

“Great witch, is that salt you brought?”

 “Oh my God! We have salt to eat!”

 Xu Yin: “…”

 Yes, comrades, there is an entire salt mine, and our small tribe of less than twenty people cannot eat it all in a lifetime.

 Collecting, boiling salt, weaving, making pottery, hunting, breeding...all positions require labor, and there are really not enough manpower!

Xu Yin stood in front of the stone cave, raised her hand to cover her forehead, and looked at the bright sun. She was glad that it was summer and she had time to arrange for her to store for autumn and winter.

 When spring comes next year, she plans to lead everyone to open up wasteland and cultivate land.

If we can find suitable clay, we plan to build a kiln and burn bricks to build a house.

Of course, you must first increase the force value, preferably one that the entire tribe can learn and use.

 How else can we protect our homeland?

 After the tribal people assigned the tasks, they started to act in high spirits.

 The old and the young were unable to do the work of hunting and gathering, so they sat in front of the stone cave and learned to weave.

After collecting the first batch of vines, Xu Yin first taught them how to weave clothes, and then taught them how to weave bags after everyone had their shame clothes. The knitted bags were used to collect and assemble wild fruits, vegetables, and Panax notoginseng, which was better than leaf bags. The transportation efficiency of wild fruits and vegetables is much higher.

Xu Yin also found a kind of rattan that was stronger than soft rattan and softer than branches. She led the people of the left-behind tribe to weave baskets and baskets of different sizes. The baskets could be carried or carried, and the baskets could be picked or carried. More practical than a bag.

 The collection team is responsible for providing wild vegetables and fruits for three meals a day.

 In the past, they would ignore unknown plants when they encountered them. Now, if there is a big witch, they will wrap them in large non-toxic leaves and pick them.

 Not to mention, Xu Yin actually discovered a few edible things.

 One is a tuber similar to a potato, but larger than an ordinary potato, and the skin is black. Let’s call it a potato, or a black potato.

The tribesmen had dug it before, but it was black at first glance. They had vaguely heard that someone from other tribes foamed at the mouth and died after eating this thing. They were worried that it was poisonous, so they didn't dare to touch it. If they dug it accidentally, Get out of the way quickly.

Xu Yin wrapped it in bark. After cutting off the skin with a stone knife, she found that the color of the flesh was the same as that of potatoes. So I caught a pheasant and fed it diced "black potatoes" alone for seven days. I found that not only was the pheasant not poisoned, but it actually liked eating the black potatoes. It was mixed with other grass seeds and fruit pulp and sprinkled in front of it. It actually picked the "black potatoes" to eat first, and then other feeds.

 This shows that black potatoes are not poisonous. Poisonous potatoes may be the reason for their sprouting. As long as you don't eat sprouted black potatoes, you'll be fine.

Hearing what the great witch said, the collection team began to search for these black potatoes all over the hillside.

 After digging it back, according to Xu Yin's instructions, peel off the skin and stew the meat, or throw it whole by the campfire, roast it with the residual heat of the charcoal fire, peel it off and eat it.

 Black potatoes, which have a completely different texture from meat, capture the taste buds of all tribesmen and young people.

 From then on, they had a third type of food besides protein and vitamins—carbohydrates.

 In addition to black potatoes, Xu Yin also discovered olives and garlic sprouts.

Wild olives are very bitter when eaten raw, so even if the tribesmen knew they could be eaten, they rarely picked them back.

As for the garlic sprouts here, they are three times thicker than ordinary garlic sprouts. When eaten raw, they are spicy and irritating, and the stomach is easily unbearable. Some people's stomach hurts like twitching after eating garlic sprouts, and no one dares to touch them again.

If the great witch hadn't asked them to pick all the edible and inedible things for her to see, Achun and the others wouldn't have wanted to touch this stuff.

Unexpectedly, after bringing them back, Xu Yin showed them the correct way to eat olives and garlic sprouts—

After blanching the olives and cooling them, add cold boiling water and salt to marinate them for seven days. The salt water stimulates the fruity aroma of the olives, making them rich, sweet and sour, and very appetizing. Chose the crispy and green garlic sprouts and stir-fry with the fat and lean meat slices. Before it comes out of the pot, the overbearing aroma is overflowing. Who has the mind to work? The saliva is coming out. Come around and watch:

 “Great witch, what is this? It smells so good!”

“Great witch, is this the green sprout that hurts your stomach after eating it?”

When they heard that they had eaten green sprouts that had a stomachache, everyone took a few steps back, not daring to eat them no matter how greedy they were.

Xu Yin said with a smile: "This is called garlic sprouts. It is spicy when eaten raw, so it is easy to irritate the stomach. But when it is fried and cooked, there is no such problem, and it is actually good for the body."

real?

Xu Yin was afraid that they wouldn't believe it, so after frying it, she took a chopstick cut from a tree branch and put it in her mouth. Ugh! tasty!

She closed her eyes with contentment. In the original era... no, the garlic sprouts in the original game were relatively thick, and the garlic sprouts themselves were a bit old this season, so when washing them, they specially cut off the skin and pulled out the tendons, and then sautéed them before eating. It tastes crispy and tender, and is more fragrant and delicious than ordinary garlic sprouts.

 Others see the great witch eating so deliciously, so what are they waiting for?

You fight for my land to eat.

 You won’t know it if you don’t eat it, but you won’t forget it once you eat it.

 Everyone’s eyes lit up: Let’s go! Go get some garlic sprouts!

At this time, they plundered all the black potatoes, garlic sprouts, and olives all over the mountains and plains.

It’s also good to make candied fruit if the olives are pickled too much.

 Garlic sprouts are indeed eaten during this season. They are too old after August.

The black potatoes that mature this season are mostly spring potatoes, and you may be able to dig another batch before winter.

However, potatoes tend to sprout if stored for a long time. Those that sprout can be planted but cannot be eaten.

Xu Yin repeatedly warned the tribesmen, and held a guessing competition every night while eating and chatting around the campfire -

 “How to stop bleeding with Panax notoginseng leaves?”

 “Under what circumstances should you never eat potatoes?”

 “How to eat garlic sprouts without stomachache?”

 “How to make olives that taste the best?”

 “Why boil salt?”

 “Why do you need to drink boiled water?”

 “What nutrients do potatoes have?”

　　　…”

  And so on.

  She asked, and others rushed to answer.

The answer was right to reward the big witch blessings, and the answer was wrong to cook for everyone the next day, or to concentrate the **** of everyone anywhere.

 After a few rounds, it will be difficult for everyone not to remember it.

Once things got better for the weaving team and the collection team had enough containers, Xu Yin took them to the woods where the winged tigers inhabited.

She hasn’t had time to inspect the hilltop where the tribe is located. Anyway, it’s right in front of her home. So there’s no rush, so she can pick the Panax notoginseng from the woods first.

She estimated that this season should be June or July, because the Panax notoginseng flowers are still green like the leaves, but this is the best season for harvesting the Panax notoginseng inflorescences.
